Police said Jones killed 41-year-old Lydia Ann Tross, whose body was found Saturday north of Fairmont Street. Robbery is believed to be the motive in the killing, police said.

Detectives said they became aware of Jones' involvement in the case when one of his family members found property that belonged to Tross in Jones' possession. That family member then called police.

Jones was booked into the Pinellas County Jail, where he remains without bond.

Last month, the City of St. Petersburg moved forward with a plan to install more than a dozen cameras along that stretch of the trail.

Clearwater Police Chief Dan Slaughter stepped up security along his stretch of the trail by adding more bike patrols. But Slaughter said if the money is available, he'd be interested in using cameras too.

"Whether the cameras provide us the ability to start investigative leads, a visual deterrent, they would be valuable to us so we would be supportive of cameras,” said Slaughter.

Even though officials say the murder is an isolated incident, more security is something trail users are not against.

"I think with cameras and police officers, it’ll be a lot safer walking along the trail to get home safely,” said Kirstie Cammaraca, who uses trail.
